from MASTELLER on page 1
Although Masteller is retiring
in June, he will continue his
research and plans to conduct
studies in Costa Rica. Masteller
also plans to submit articles on
two other insects discovered in
Puerto Rico.
Masteller and his students
will present seven papers or
posters at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Sciences meeting
April 2-3. The presentations are
based on research conducted at
Presque Isle and stemmed from
Masteller's invertebrae zoology
class last year. The research,
which is on invertebrates, was
videotaped and will be used in
some biology classes.
To conduct this research,
Masteller and his students studied
specimens they collected as well
as specimens collected over, the
past fifteen years. Some stu dents
have developed hypotheses
stemming from the research.
"It's interesting to find odd
species that don't seem to fit in, "
said Suzanne L. Confer, a senior
biology major. "I want to
continue research."
Students who conducted
research and will make
presentations at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Sciences are: Jill
